2008 LiDAR - Bare Earth

Bare Earth Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Data - 1m resolution. The dataset contains locations and attributes of bare earth elevations in meters.  Bare earth model is created by identifying those returns that fall on the ground surface and interpolating a surface between these points.  In this manner buildings and vegetation are removed from Bare Earth Model.   This data set does not include bridges and overpasses in the Bare Earth model as the delineation point for these structures is not reliably discernable in the LiDAR data.
